Abstract

"ROMANIA - The Structure of Unemployment in Romania (1989-2000)" is a comprehensive study that focuses mainly on how structural unemployment can be expressed through unemployment rates by both level of education and industrial structure. The thesis is divided into three parts. Part 1 focuses on the history of Romania and the general economical situation. Part 2 deals with the analysis of structural unemployment by examining technological changes, industrial composition, occupational composition, and education. Part 3 is presenting solutions that researchers have given over the years or solutions that the Romanian government has implemented or is planning to implement in the next few years, followed by the author's suggested solutions to the structural unemployment problem. The thesis intends to provide a realistic insight and comprehensive understanding into the acute structural unemployment in Romania that prolongs the transition period.
